[Philsutton]

[R1CH]

Nova thrash @ Bruntingthorpe was a feature for TV mag, was a dozen Novas with various different engines being timed over 1/4 mile, mile, 0-60 and top speed.
Was a belter day out, top cars and a top bunch of folk
:thumb:
Got a few pics that i'll post up at some point.

Rich

[novacabrio]

[vaughanmc]

[vaughanmc]

What speed would that be lol about 170

[smcgsi16v]

Knowing a Nova speedo, 95mphlol

Brings back memories of the original Bruntingthorpe thrash them photos do.

[R1CH]

159.66

[R1CH]

What time did they come and pick you up ??

[Adam]

Looked a top day out, a lineup of pretty much the best novas about atm imo.
What went wrong Rick?

[Chris S]

all novas there were minters, then there was 1 with a shinky bumper

[peester]

wow; the big time here we go

[Rick Draper]

AA came for us at about 6.45, had a few games of pool in the local pub and a drink while we waited.

Head has lifted i hope causing the gasket to fail and ramming 2.2 bar of pressure through the water system and out of the header tank!

Either that or the block or head is cracked. All will be revieled tomorrow morning!

[gazz]

:eek: ^^

[Stuart]

umm what do you expect from someone trying to get that much go from a let.... there will be niggles. hopefully only small ones as the rest of the engine is built to cope.


no jim??? thought he was supposed to show up.

[Will F]

No Jim!!:roll:

Sure he had his reasons though....

Unsure why the 1/4 mile times were generally poop, the surface wasnt ideal etc, but still surprised why there was no 12's (was there?)

I will get pics up later, but they aint the best!

I managed a 5.4 to 60 and 149mph (before I got scared), which wasnt bad with virtually no sprint experience and on road tyres!

:)

[Clean 2.0 nova]

Who won, I mean the pool games of course!

Ecotec results were 0-60 = 7.2 secs, 1/4 mile 15.5 secs, end of run terminal speed = 136mph.

It should be noted that if you know bruntingthorpe the first half of the straight rises and the last half slopes down. This doesn't help 0-60 and 1/4 miles but it does wonders for top speed :thumb:

[tom_beverley]

Well well, me and Iain must have been jinxed too as we broke down on the M1 near sheffield on the way home. It must have been midnight when we got back to Iains and then had work to do getting his Nova up his steep drive lol Cue lots of winching using a wratchet and strap! I didn't get home till 1am and had been up since 3.30am :cry:

All makes a rememberable day though lol I enjoyed myself, even more gutted seeing everyone going horsing up the strip and not having mine there too! Was nice to put a few more names to faces and just have a good look at the awesome cars on show. It was a top day and top lads too :thumb:

Hope it isn't too bad Iain and Rick!

[hendrix]

Thats pretty good for an Eco tbh! Not far off XE at all

[Lynsey]

Was a cool day :) will get pics up too once Dougie gives me some copies (as Dan knows, this could be months!). Shame about your car Rick :(

And empty your inbox Dougie! Thanks for letting me come :)

[Ian]

Nope, Jim bottled it, sorry I mean had to work.

No Rick Marland either?

was that you with the camera? thought you were just dougies bird who had been dragged along lol

[MARTIN KELSON]

Hi

Was a good day and again nice to put some faces to names.
Just like to say thanks to the guy who's car came on trailer (sorry i dont know your name) for helping me out with the bolt at end of day.

I came to go home and i had a box full of neutrals!!
The 'S' shaped quick shift linkage where it is held to gearbox with a pin that had either come out or snapped. Stuck a bolt in it and coaxed it home up the M6. Got me home so thanks.

My times were 134 top speed (not bad for a straight cut box)
0-60 was either 5.4 or 5.7 cant remember!! Not bad considering i fluffed every launch. Too much wheel spin!!

Shame about Ricks as was really looking forward to seeing that one........Maybe next time.

Cheers

[Ian]

tbh i thought you did 6.4 0-60 Martin, as you were terrible on your timed runs lol, much faster when you had more practice. It definitely felt faster, thanks for the pasenger ride too, much appreciated, will give me a reason to pull my finger out.

will F was the guy with the trailer

[Stuart]

was that you with the camera? thought you were just dougies bird who had been dragged along lol


she is lol.

[Lynsey]

she is lol.

Now now Stuart, that isn't very nice :(

[spanishfly]

What a good day! I run the indy sports on the front, they were definately not a good choice on the gravelly Brunters. I kept switching the nitrous off in 3rd and taking foot of the go pedal.
My result were:
0-60: 4.9,4.9,4.8
Top speed: 137 (Had more to go but lifted)
1/4 mile: 13.X (What ever it was, was crap, this was due to me going more for 0-60, and trying to save the nitrous for that reason)


Good to meet some new/old faces again:)
Big thanks to Dougie once again, good day out:)

[spanishfly]

P.S.: Who has actually done track days using the indysport remoulds? Am I just a pus or is everyone else scared?

[Will F]

Glad you got home OK Martin, glad to help! ;)

I was rubbish and only spoke top a few people, didnt even realise some of you lot had gone! lol

I was hoping to break the 150 barrier, it said 154 on my SPA dash thing, so I backed off! GRRRR!

[Stuart]

Now now Stuart, that isn't very nice :(


:wisewood: thought i was being nice lol.



fly yes youre a pus5y.

[MARTIN KELSON]

P.S.: Who has actually done track days using the indysport remoulds? Am I just a pus or is everyone else scared?

I have done track day on Maxsport RB5 which i think were similar to what you had yesterday.

Probably better than normal road tyres but not upto Yoko AO48 or Toyo R888.
If you can squeeze either of them on i would.

[spanishfly]

yeah I want A048's, although these parada spec2's are doing good:)

[tom_beverley]

I've got LOADS of photos and a few vids from the day, I will upload and put 'em on this thread later when I finish work and get home.

[Dar]

P.S.: Who has actually done track days using the indysport remoulds? Am I just a pus or is everyone else scared?
Not a great tyre so I have heard. If your looking for that 'type' of tyre (which I was) I can highly reccomend the Hankook Ventus Z209S. I'm running the T70 compound which is great for trackday use. They arn't as expensive as some of the others either. But you may struggle finding a supplyer. Try any rally boys you know if you do have trouble.

Anyway looks like a good day out, shame about the breakages though but these things happen.

[Clean 2.0 nova]

I will second the above thanks to Dougie, GREAT day out. Much appreciated to let me and a few others get a feel for their cars on a track. It was a good laugh and well worth it :thumb:.

[spanishfly]

I enjoyed blatting round later and having to avoid the lorry lol
Currently ordering my facet and swirl pot... damn surge :mad:

[Adam]

Hmm, anyone know why Rick M wasn't there??

[Austin_Nova16]

Sounds like a phat day!
Gutted I missed out on it!


Shame on those who didn't turn out :roll: would have loved to have gone instead...

[John]

Yeah top day out! Mucho laughter and all excellent cars! Big thanks to dougie and the tv team for hosting the day. Shame there was only one small block present though, but good job done by mark all the same though!
Good to put faces to names/user names too!

Being a complete novice at this sort of thing, as was made clear by my starts lol My shed managed a best of 6.8 to 60, (can't remember the 1/4 time but i think it was 15.4?) and a top speed of 134. The standard 1985 dials couldn't keep up, they stuck still off the clock for ages after top speed!

Rich your top speed was impressive, how gutting to be that close to 160 though!
Also lovin the whine of martins box and carbs, heard flat out well after the car had disappeared into the distance!
Gutted for rick, hope it gets rebuilt fella.

[Adam]

Shame there was only one small block present though, but good job done by mark all the same though!

One??? Sure there was 3/4 on the list?
Shame that.

[spanishfly]

yes only one had the balls to come. Could be said that SB novas are like fords, they can talk power/figures better than anyone just don't perform as they should...


;)

[Jim]

Nope, Jim bottled it, sorry I mean had to work.
Yep, I bottled it. Don't know why, just have no confidence with the Nova at the minute. I've not driven it for over a year, even though I try and kid myself that I'm desperate to drive it I find ways of getting out of it. It's all taxed, MOT'd and Insured, yet I'm putting off driving it by not putting fuel in it. Can't explain my reasons behind it, maybe it's my own way of saying it's time to sell up and move on, I just don't know.

There are more important things in my life than a Nova bash at Bruntingthorpe and I apologise if I let anyone down over this.

You should have brought it down and told people it broke down randomly like Rick did! lol

At least your car would hav ebeen featured!

That or let someone else bring it! ;)

No worries mate, I was the same a few years ago, before I bought another Car(s) as my daily drivers...

[Lee]

If you want to see what the damn thing will do, ill take it out next year against Dan. Seeing as we both lapped pretty much identical times in his car at combe in the summer, it should be a good example of what it can do.

Itll be easier to sell as well as it'll be bottlethroddied LMAO (thats if the rods stay in the block)


Good day had by all by the looks of it, look forward to reading the feature when it appears :)

[tom_beverley]

I would have loved to had mine ready to back up the small blocks although I was suprised Mark's was the only small block there. I was really keen to see the difference between some highly modded 1.6 8v against the rest of the bunch.

Thanks to Dougie and the TV teams for organising and hosting the day, mucho appreciated!

I did love Martin's SC box it sounded lovely! Spanish's Nova was simply awesome at getting the power down too and could tell a mile that had the fastest 0-60! In fact I was well impressed with every car on display and a tribute to how well Nova's can be built.

[Adam]

Was there enough cars there then?
10+ were needed iirc?

Shame i didn't know a few people weren't going, could of took my small block, i was free yesterday too :(

[Lynsey]

There were 11 including Rick's, so 10 got timed etc.

[Clean 2.0 nova]

Most people turned up, some couldn't be bothered:confused: .

Some cars ran, some died prematurelylol .

People cleaned their vehicles, and cleaned and cleaned,and f*ck me, it showed:

http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x198/iaingra/IM002064modified.jpg

This kind of finish is well impresive, and goes to show what a proper enthusiasts club is about.

The following pic took 7 of the 8 hours we were there to organise.
:O

[R1CH]

There was 12, so 11 ran !!

Aye top effort to Dougie and the timing guy, top day.
Think my best 0-60 was 5.8 ? and 1/4 mile was 13.7 ? wasn't to bothered about those times i just wanted to give it death down the 2 mile runway ... which i managed a few times !! was well chuffed with 159.66 but also a bit gutted, another .44 mph and i would've had a 160mph Nova !!
Think top honors went to ChrisS who managed 164mph !!
Good mix of engines as well, 1.6, std XE, XE on carbs, XE on Bodies, 2.5V6, 3.0V6 Turbo, few LET's

:thumb:

[R1CH]

People cleaned their vehicles, and cleaned and cleaned,and f*ck me, it showed:

I've only ever polished the inside once, and the car got its 3rd ever polish in 18 month the day before the bash, was just lucky it stayed clean on the way down.
Cheers tho.

[krobinson]

Awesome top speed there RICH :)

[Will F]

Whose was the 2.5 (or 3L) turbo? Didnt recognise him or the car!?

That was quite a sleeper.

[R1CH]

Not sure on the V6's, think one of the guys uses VauxSport and the other was his mate ?
Never seen the cars before, not even on the net. 3.0 V6 Turbo, wasn't the prettiest of conversions but absolutly top effort to the guy ... looked a bit of a tight squeeze to say the least.
There needs to be more 2 mile unused runways for folk to blat down !! lol

[Rick Draper]

Some cars ran, some died prematurelylol .

Thanks a lot for the tow :thumb:

Went in the local pub for a few hours after you dropped us off. They said only the other week they had a guy in who had just bought a new Ferrari and had spent the day on brunters, then had to get a lift home with the AA as he had cooked his clutch!

[staggy_gsi]

wow, looks like it was a great day. wish i could have been there.

[CP]

I went to brunters a couple of months ago and hitched a ride in this:


http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb125/cpnova/brunters002.jpg


My brother in law had ago in this:

http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb125/cpnova/brunters003.jpg


I was given a couple of laps of the short circuit and the driver opened her up and topped out at 167mph (shown on the Stack speedo) before heavy braking:D into the bottom corner. Awesome!

[tom_beverley]

There needs to be more 2 mile unused runways for folk to blat down !! lol

Agreed there, although next time I will try it in a seat rather than in your boot hanging onto the rollcage lol lol

I forgot the lead to connect my camera to the CPU last night so I'll try with the pics again tonight :wall:

[Will F]

Some pretty poor pics from me...

Check out the 1.7D powerhouse. I fitted valver brakes on it the night before and couldnt get the 'lattice' wheels back on the front! lmao

Thats it, I have a few decent vids of various launches and some of the fly by action (mainly listening to Martin's straight cut box) but I can't seem to be able to get them off my camera via usb :confused:

[Nick J]

some very well spec'd cars in attendance there... I'll look forward to seeing tv's article on it!

[craig green]

Some really cool pics uploaded again. Feature will hopefully be good.

Just highlights once again what action I am constantly missing out on by not having a working Nova!

[mowgli]

what spec was the geriatric looking slime green b reg??

[Lynsey]

Has a redtop (or in this case, a greentop ;)) his username is G88 KAG :)

[John]

what spec was the geriatric looking slime green b reg??

Old and getting quite rusty.lol, second slowest car of the day too!

[Nick J]

Old and getting quite rusty.lol, second slowest car of the day too!

Still an awesome sleeper though john! lol

[vaughanmc]

Minted cars there and it looked like a minted day :)

[Lynsey]

C'mon John, you know it is awsome :) Dougie said the greeness inside is madness!

[John]

C'mon John, you know it is awsome :) Dougie said the greeness inside is madness!

Yeah i know lynz:p , i'm quite proud of the fact that it's old, rusty, etclol lol

erm yep it's green alright, after a whole day in it monday, my eyes were getting quite sore.

[tom_beverley]

It made my eyes sore looking inside it for a few seconds! Seriously though its in pretty good nick for the age and a reet wolf in sheeps clothing! Wheels look very cool too :thumb:

[R1CH]

Aye, it was the green dash board that done it for me, lol !!

Tom, was tempted to boot it with you in the back but was thinking that you'd either get tangled up in the cage or go thru the back window, plus was running a bit low on fuel. Will quite happily take you for a blast if i bump into you again, i'll even let you sit in a seat this time.
Top pics as well.

Rich

[Chris S]

was a good day out, well done to all that made it, and the biggest thanks to total vauxhall for letting mr rag me car

[BRoadGhost]

Shame I wasn't rdy for this one.

Looks like a good place to let loose - hopefully soon i'll be there.

[yellow nova]

And a big thanks to you to chris for letting me have that pipe to fix my car with cheers mate :cool:

[Chris S]

[Clean 2.0 nova]

Nope, Jim bottled it, sorry I mean had to work.

No Rick Marland either?

New owner collecting the gsi

[novacabrio]

Thats all folks! all uploaded tonight as i'd probably forget

[Adam]

Some awesome pics there Novacabrio(especially the ones of yours and Rick's), some top motors.
So you've sold the Gsi now to buy a Gsi rep? lol

[craig green]

Great pics Mark. Hope the new owner takes good care, that has to be one of the most cherished GSi's left IMO.

Hungry now I've seen that fry up aswell.

[SRimon]

Me too, and hope he wants to sell it end of next summer! Whats the replacement?

Awesome pics, anyone got links to some high res ones?

[Rick Draper]

Good pictures there mark.

I can send high res via msn,

replacement is a gsi replica, had to save some money these last few months so gsi had to final go it wasn't an easy choice get the sr on sunday if we have no last minute glitches

[BRoadGhost]

So with the F28 box you run rick what's it good for in 6th @ peak revs?

[novacabrio]

Rick didnt run, long story but Rich got 159? I think

[Chris S]

it depends what u call peak revs tbh,
8k revs is a hell of a lot more speed than 7k on a f28 at that speed

testing in my mates tigra we were topping the digidash out (157)in 5th gear.
thats using a little over 8k revlimit

Cheers mark, i'll PM you.

[Rick Draper]

Sorry to bump this old thread but i wondered if anyone has any high res pic's of my car from the day? Having to do the gay picture disk to the insurers.

[vaughanmc]

Will there be another event like this organised ?

[MARTIN KELSON]

Just had a look and not really got any good enough for the insurers.

Can Dougie get you any from TV?
